The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya Chapter 223

223 Griffin 

I hated having to leave Ayla in bed without giving her, her coffee first. She asked me to though and I got she wanted to get as much sleep as she could. That is why I called the coffee shop she would always go to after going to the bridal store. To tell them to prepare her something special, giving my credit card info so they could charge me for it. I was a little taken aback when the coffee shop told me they did not charge my credit card because my fiancé never came in. I was going back and forth about calling the dress shop to see if she left there on time. Maybe something happened causing her to be delayed. When I decided I would call just to be sure. Especially since Ayla wanted to go to the final fitting on her own so everyone would be surprised by how the dress looked on her. I heard Dean’s panicked voice over the mindlink. 

“Crown Prince Griffin are you on a date with Ayla right now?” My knees buckled, and I could swear the floor beneath me opened up to swallow me whole and sent me to the deepest pit of hell. This can’t be happening to me not anymore. “No, why” I manage to croak out. 

“Mike run into her she is going to the clearing by the lake because you left her a note. He is going there but he is only human. I am shifting now” He tells me and I know the fierce determination in his voice is not just about rescuing his mate. He loves Ayla too, as his future Luna and Queen and as his friend. So I mindlink my parents, Dillion, Gerald and the lead warriors so they can send their teams to the clearing. And then I shift too, running to the clearing faster than I have ever run before.

Just as I skid to a halt at the edge of the clearing I see a wolf, who I can smell is David jump up ready to attack Ayla. Hannah throws herself between them. David must smell that she is pregnant with his pup, still, he bites at her throat tearing her windpipe. The mother of his pup falls to the floor in a mess of limps and blood. Whimpering clutching her belly like she is trying to find a way to protect her unborn pup. At the same time Mike, who came running out of the bushes slams the rock he was holding against Cynthia’s head knocking her out. 

I am about to jump in because there is no way a human and a wolf who cannot shift because she is pregnant can win a fight with David. Dean. has just arrived too, Ayla made her way over to Hannah. I cannot hear what she is saying over the blood rushing in my ears. It doesn’t matter, Hannah sadly is a lost cause and I am going to make sure Ayla and Mike won’t be. I want to run towards her and just attack David. But there is no telling what he will do. So that would only risk my mate and our unborn pups. 

After shifting back I calmly approach David in my human form. Hands raised showing him I mean no harm. Even if I would definitely do him harm if I was able to. Now I need to know what he is planning to do and find a way to get the love of my life and my friend out of there. 

“He is distracted I am going to get them out okay” Dean mindlinks me and all I can do is give an almost invisible nod. 

David doesn’t pay me any attention, he runs to Ayla who doesn’t seem to notice too busy stroking Hannah’s hair that’s now turning red and tangled together. He yanks her up by her hair snarling only then he looks 

at me. 

“I need you to resign your title to me. And your mate here will get to

live. The two of you will move out of the castle and make sure my mate gets the medical attention she requires seeing as your human knocked her out” He growls, panic claws at my frantically beating heart. There is no way out, I would willingly give up everything I have to save Ayla and my pups. But I don’t think he understands this is not how it works. My parents are still the rulers of the country and it’s not like they would let him get away with it. I am confused about him calling Cynthia his mate, but I cannot even focus on that. 

“Griffin, she is marked, she has his name as a mark, she is his chosen mate. Dean says in confusion” David looks at Dean who is pulling down Cynthia’s collar, I can’t make sense of what’s happening. Ayla smiles and jams what looks like a hairpin in David’s chest. He falls down onto the grass convulsing. 

Ayla runs to me, hands covered in blood, and I can’t tell if it’s hers, Hannah’s or David or from all of them. 

“Baby I am okay, Hannah kept a sharp silver hairpin in her hair, David has been threatening her. She was innocent in all of this she…” But she ran out of steam unable to tell me what happened in the minutes I was not there. Unable to tell me what Hannah told her. All she can do now is bury her face in my neck sobbing uncontrollably. 

By now all of the warriors, even the ones not on duty, and our closest friends and family have arrived at the scene. 

“Griff, I hate to have to do this but we need to get a clear story of what happened here we are going to need to talk to Ayla and Mike” Dad tells me when I am still comforting Ayla who clings to me like a baby would to its mother.

“I can tell you Alpha, I ran into Ayla and she told me she was going to meet Griffin here. But Dean told me he was supposed to go into a meeting with Griffin at the same time. I didn’t trust it so I followed her and texted Dean. Cynthia and that one were working together and tricked Hannah into coming here too. So they planned to threaten Crown Prince Griffin so he would give David his title. They wanted to be the new King and Queen. That is all I know.” He sighs, before he falls to his knees trembling I hurt one of the wolves from your pack now they will never accept me. 

Mike’s crying seems to snap Ayla out of it. “No, Mike you saved their Princess, you stopped two mentally ill wolves from threatening the pack. And I will make sure everyone will know what you did. Rodrick, I am willing to talk to you of course, but not here, not like this. Can you give me thirty minutes to go back home, shower and come to the meeting room? I feel like more people need to hear what happened today.” Dad just nods, he is as much in awe of her strength as I am. 

“Please come with me Griffin, I don’t want to be alone now please?” I would have never left her alone. Not after all of this but I am scared at how calm Ayla is. And I just hope this doesn’t ruin the progress she made in therapy. But even if it will, all is finally over now and we will get back to where we need to be
